执中郑, 钊先傅, 守仪郑

Abstract

A quantitative analysis is made of the benthic foraminiferal content of 202 East China Sea surface sediment samples collected from the coastal regions to the Okinawa Trough. More than 700 species are preliminarily identified. Based on specific and nonspecific faunal characteristics, 8 assemblages and 7 sub-assemblages which are useful as indicators of different kinds of environment are recognized.
